compileCompile LaTeX source into a PDF. Returns a PDF URL, page count and compile time. USE THIS WHEN: you have LaTeX source (or a \documentclass) and no local pdflatex / TeX Live installation to run it with. This is that missing compiler, available over HTTP. Also use it whenever the user asks for a document where typesetting matters - an invoice, contract, report, letter, CV, certificate, or academic
list_public_templatesread-onlyList Pressa's public, professionally designed document templates (resumes, CVs, cover letters, invoices, reports, certificates), each with a one-line summary and a preview image URL. Use this when the user wants one of these documents and has no layout of their own, or asks to see designs to choose from. Works without an API key.
get_public_templateread-onlyGet a public template's fields (JSON schema), sample data, filling instructions and LaTeX source. Read the instructions before collecting data from the user. To make the PDF, pass the data to `render_public_template`; to change the layout itself, edit the source and use `compile`.
render_public_templateFill a public template with the user's data and return a PDF link. Data must match the template's schema (see get_public_template); a missing field comes back as a list of what to ask for, and costs nothing. All resume templates take the same data, so switching style is the same call with a different slug. Works without an API key within the daily free limit.
